Malofeev calls for revision of Russian constitution to 'sacralize' the state

Pro-Kremlin oligarch Konstantin Malofeev has announced that Russia needs to revise its constitution. He argues that the state must be reclaimed, protected, glorified, and sacralized. According to Malofeev, such a step is necessary to strengthen state authority and reduce liberal influence.

Malofeev also criticized the education system, claiming that students in Russia are taught liberal theories. As a result, they join civil society, which, in his words, has entered into a kind of social contract and started making demands on the state instead of thinking about what they can contribute. This attitude, in the oligarch's view, is unacceptable and must be changed through constitutional revision.

The oligarch's statements reflect growing pressure on democratic values in Russia, where civil society and liberal ideas are increasingly seen as a threat to state stability. Malofeev is known for his conservative and nationalist views, and his call to sacralize the state aligns with the Kremlin's efforts to strengthen authoritarian rule.
